Famous English Comedienne Finds Instrument
Best That She Has Ever Played
CHICAGO, 111., Aiay 26.—Lady Robert Peel,
otherwise known as Beatrice Lillie, star of the
popular musical production "She's My Baby,"
which has just completed a long showing at the
Illinois Theatre in Chicago, highly endorses the
Regal tenor guitar.
In a letter sent to the Regal Musical Instru-
ment Co., manufacturer of this popular instru-
ment, Beatrice Lillie expresses the joy that the
Regal guitar produces during her moments of
leisure from the stage. She says:
"You wanted to know what I thought of the
Regal tenor guitar. I can assure you that both
my son and I enjoy it immensely. I play it
tuned as a ukulele, but no ukulele or tenor gui-
tar I've ever used can be compared with it,
either in brilliance of tone or appearance. I
intend to keep it with me all the time. As you
know, my moments of relaxation are few and
far between, but I enjoy playing my tenor gui-
tar during leisure time. Any time I can recom-
mend the Regal tenor guitar you may count
upon my doing so."
The Regal tenor guitar can be played like a
tenor banjo and has been exceptionally popular
among both the professional and amateur trade.
The New Mezzo-Soprano Sax-
ophone in F—an entirely new in-
• stxument from mouthpiece to bell,
acclaimed by leading professionals
as the real solo voice of the saxo-
phone family.
The New Symphony Flute No.
100-0, possessing many new and
exclusive features which set it apart
as the flute for those who aim for
perfect technique and tone quality.
The New Armored Clarinet,
now used by leading artists in con-
cert bands and enthusiastically en-
dorsed by such famous conductors
as Sousa, Conway, Kryl, Creatore.
